Hi there,
I've been tasked with developing accident prevention programs for a couple different locations by my employer. I see that there is a lot of information on the L&I website to help create this plan, but it's still a bit vague on what exactly is required.
I'm looking at different organization's APP's, and they all seem to be so much more dense than what the templates on the L&I site are offering or suggesting.
From what I can gather I need to have a different APP tailored to the specific hazards at each location, but the examples I'm finding are either going way overboard on what they cover or I'm not understanding what is absolutely required in an APP.
My plan was to start with the most bare bones, basic APP that would fulfil the requirements under the law, and then add a bit more info once it was compliant, but I'm second guessing myself when I compare it to other APPs. I feel that I could have a 10-20 page APP while I'm seeing others that have 100+ pages.
For the most part it is a warehouse / distribution environment, with more than 10 employees, and we have established site specific safety committees, but I'm curious what trainings need to be done annually and what are only needed during new hire orientation?
Like fire extinguisher locations and proper operation is a yearly refresher, I think?
Any advice or places to look would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!
